BISMARCK -- The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is working with 30 landowners in 19 hunting units across the state who would like to host antlerless deer hunters this fall. The list of landowners has nearly 350 openings for doe hunters.
Participating landowners are located in hunting units 2C, 2D, 2G2, 2I, 2J2, 2K2, 3A4, 3B3, 3C, 3D1, 3D2, 3E1, 3E2, 3F1, 3F2, 4B, 4D, 4E and 4F.
The program is not intended for buck hunters, but is designed to direct hunters with antlerless licenses to specific areas to reduce deer populations.
Interested hunters can get their name on a list of possible participants via the Game and Fish website or by calling the department's main office in Bismarck at (701) 328-6300.
